Art Inspired By The Titanic

'A Womans Heart Is A Deep Ocean Of Secrets'

Oil

76cm x 142cm.

(Title is stolen from a line in the Titanic movie).

This is one of 30+ seascapes I have painted since October last year.

Phew!

Plus a few birds and abstracts chucked in for good measure.

This one is big...

But I can't wait to get to work on the even bigger canvases waiting in the wings....

1 - Quote Series Of Hattie McDaniels Famous Words

I have spoken before about 'Hattie McDaniel', 

most famously known for her role as Mammie in 'Gone With The Wind'.

About 5 years ago I had the privilege to create some Hattie photographic quotes 

for Kevin John Goff (Hatties Great Grand Nephew - International Speaker/Filmmaker/Humanitarian).

Kevin is an extraordinarily talented man 

whom I have through the years become special friends with.

He has an amazing vision to share Hattie McDaniels complete story 

via a feature documentary, her website, a podcast, and a storyboard/illustrative book project.

Eventually, there are plans to also produce a feature film on her life.

 However, the ultimate goal is to create a foundation that will be instrumental in assisting individuals that need funding, industry mentorship, increased opportunities and industry training for those who are struggling to advance within the entertainment industry.

Read more about that here.

The quotes created all those years ago are now having a facelift. 

This is the first in the 'Quote Series of Hattie McDaniels famous words'.
